In this episode of Happy in the Middle , I’m sharing one of my favorite stories from the Old Testament, - the story of Esther, - and the powerful life lessons we can learn from her courage, wisdom and faith. Esther’s story is remarkable because God’s name is never explicitly mentioned in the book, yet His hand is woven throughout every chapter. And isn’t that often true in our own lives too? Together, we explore how Esther teaches us to trust God through uncertainty, step into courage even when we feel afraid, stay rooted in our identity, and recognize that difficult seasons may be preparing us for something greater. We’ll talk about: What the story of Esther teaches us today How courage is rarely the absence of fear Why your life carries purpose — even when you cannot see it Trusting God through uncertainty and hard seasons The power of influence without force or control Why preparation often comes before calling How to strengthen your self-concept and remember who God says you are If you’ve been struggling with fear, feeling stuck, or wondering whether your life matters in God’s greater story, this episode is for you. Because perhaps… you too were created for such a time as this. ❤️ Are you ready to make your marriage amazing?  I’d be honored to walk with you.
